Humane Society to open thrift store

Feb 19, 2026 | 3:35 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George Humane Society is heading in a new direction. It is getting into the thrift store business, with a store front located at 1445 10th Avenue.

“It’s been a huge part of our strategic plan now for over two years,” explains Angela McLaren with the Humane Society. “We’ve always been looking for the perfect location, and unfortunately, nothing’s ever come across. And then we ended up stumbling across this location. And so we are calling it the Community Thrift Store.”

The funds raised from sales at the store will go towards helping to provide services for pets and their owners.

But the location is currently empty and that’s where the Society is hoping to rely on the good graces of Prince George residents. Beginning Friday, February 20, the Society will begin taking donations at that location, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

They are accepting gently used, clean, and resale-ready items, including:
